Hi Community,

 

Recently I wanted to add two separate variant explorers with designated dropdowns for each of them whit same table as source.

However after adding dropdowns, selection in one is duplicated in another slider.

Can you kindly support me how to configure them so they will be connection only between 1 dropdown and Variant explorer?

Hi,

 

first of all you need two different variables so that Dropdown 1 writes into Variable 1 and Dropdown 2 writes into Variable 2. Both dropdowns can get their values from the same table/source.

And you must set flag "Component is not filtered with selections" in both dropdowns!

 

Last step is to set a component filter on both variant explorers.

Variant Explorer 1:

FILTER your_filter_criteria = <%=Variable 1%>

 

Variant Explorer 2:

FILTER your_filter_criteria = <%=Variable 2%>

 

That's it.
